(Epsom, NH) - With Memorial Day upon us, many back-deck chefs will be pulling out their gas grills for some shrimp (or dogs and burgers) on the barbie.

The Propane Gas Association of New England is offering safety tips before you fire up that grill.

Among them, keep the grill in a safe location, on a level surface and at least 5 feet away from the house, lawn furniture, trees or other potential fire hazards.

And always check the hose connections for any leaks. Just a bit of soapy water will give you a hint of any leaking gas.

Check out their full list of safety tips here.

Happy Grilling!  (And I like my burgers medium rare, please.)
